Onward, ever onward.

Today has been busy, just as every other day this week...month...year. But it's a good kind of busy. Well, until calculus comes into the picture! It never ceases to amaze me how random things go through my head. Like... I'll have trains of thoughts that make zero sense whatsoever to anyone but myself. And other times, random thoughts come into my head. My brain is weird, I think.

Today I was sitting in the library doing math homework, trying to understand how letters and numbers are all the same, and how math is real (I think it's all made up...who needs it, anyway?! math people, don't answer that!), and taking like 10 years on each of my homework problems (which I still haven't finished...). I have a paper for D&C due on Monday, and I've been trying to come up with ideas for it, and I've been coming up blank for a week and a half now. It's frustrating. Anyway, as I was sitting there doing math, the answer popped into my head, and I dumped my math stuff in my bag and ran to the No Shh Zone, got a computer, and started the word vomit. And I think it's a good idea...I just don't know how to write in this style, as I've never done it before. So I think I'm going to just write a really rough draft before the weekend, and then edit all weekend long. Okay, so probably just Saturday at work, and then again Monday morning. But I'm excited, because this could turn out to be a really great paper if I can get it to sound the way it does in my head!

In geology today, we talked about glaciers and Alaska and glaciers and Alaska and...yeah, I'm wicked excited to go there in 2 months! I've found a ton to do in Anchorage, and I'm solidifying hotel plans for that, and next I'll move on to Denali, at least as far as hotels go. I need to book those ASAP cuz a lot are already sold out. Fortunately, I'm going as cheap as possible, so the cheap, crappy ones still have vacancy! :)

Well, I'm off. I've got a ton of homework to do, a real journal to write in, and plans to go watch the Office with Alex and his roommates and their friends!

  2. Your brain is NOT weird... mine does that, too. So maybe it's just inherited!

    And I'm wicked excited for Alaska, too! Need to start thinking about what to pack, and what to bring to do on the train, and where to get more memory cards, cheap... and buy the camcorder battery charger, and...and...and...YAY!!!!

Fortune Cookies can be profound..

So I was at work last night, at KBYU, and they fed us dinner. Sweet, free food! As a college kid with almost no money to my name, I'll gladly eat food that someone not only pays for, but pays me to eat! I've learned to like a lot of foods this way... I never used to enjoy Chinese food, but now I do. And last night, our food came from Panda Express. Seeing as I've never eaten authentic Chinese food from China, I don't know how "real" this food is, but it's pretty delicious. But that is not the point. The point is, half the fun of eating Chinese food is to read and laugh at the fortune inside the fortune cookie! Especially from Panda Express, where the fortunes are usually pretty lame, silly, or in fact MISfortunes! As I cracked my cookie open last night, my heart was pounding with anticipation... what would I get? Would it change my LIFE?!!? Okay, so I was just curious, and my heart wasn't pounding. :) I read the little slip of paper, and g...

Eu Amo Meloncia!

(NOTE:  Received on 3/30/2010) Hello family! Well, this week I did something different.  I kept a list in my agenda of things to write to y'all about, instead of just writing one on the bus on the way back from the Temple, and it is LONG!  But most of the things are just things to mention, not really to talk about.  So let me start with that! Choir last Tuesday was awesome...I played the piano of course, and the choir sang "Scripture Power".  Remember in primary when we would lift our scriptures up during the chorus?  Yeah, guess what 100 missionaries did during choir!  It was hilarious and so awesome.  We have so much fun here! Soccer here is intense.  Our teacher, Irmão Mendes, has the radio on his cell phone.  One day in class, he pulled it out, turned it on, and we listened for a few seconds to a soccer game.  Long enough to hear "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...
